  • Brilliant!

  • This book is amazing!

    The first chapter where it talks about how Hamilton is related to Harlem, and how it eventually became primarily Black is fascinating.

    I'm not from NY, I'm from the Bay, so I didn't know anything about this, or exactly why it was called Sugar Hill.

    Cop this book, it's dope!

    Hamilton is uptown, he's Dip Set. You didn't know?

  • FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THAT BULLSHIT!!!
